Abstract
The Human Knee: Gross, Microscopic, Surgical, and Radiological Anatomy
Highlights
In the paper entitled “The patellar arterial supply via the infrapatellar fat pad: a combined anatomical and angiographical analysis” G
The results revealed that the patella to a considerable amount is supplied by arteries coursing through the surrounding parts of the infrapatellar fat pad
The authors conclude that due to the rich arterial supply reaching the patella via the infrapatellar fat pad, it seems advisable to Anatomy Research International preserve the fat pad during the surgery of the knee in order to reduce the risk of vascular impairment of the patella
